Five Star Affair – Do Not Disturb Reviewed by Sadie O., 2/17/07 Reggae/Ska/Funk/etc from Calgary. Mostly female, rather punky vocals, hot horns, good bass sound, and lots and lots of good rhythms (often several per song) – all this, and didgerido! Hot stuff, fa shizzle. Can’t make out most of the words, frankly, but I didn’t catch any FCCs. It’s all really good, but I’m digging 7 and 8 the mostest. 1. 1:09 **sparse, drum ‘n’ bass builds into full band, downtempo roots rock skank 2. 3:01 ***fast ska, great bass, two female vocals, frantic pace but cool. 3. 3:41 ***guitar intro with a second or two of silence, then uptempo guitar and horns- based ska. Shifts into uptempo electric one-drop, then back and forth. Nice funk interlude. 4. 2:52 **midtempo roots rock, shifts back and forth with uptempo horns and drum-driven ska. Male and female vocals. 5. 1:24 ***longish intro, then midtempo funky rock steady instrumental – nice! I wish it was about 5 minutes longer. Short goofy spoken outro 6. 2:01 **fast ska, female vocals harmonizing. Lots of time and instrumentation changes. 7. 4:17 ****long Latinish guitar intro, then midtempo cha cha with hard rock bite. Female vocals in Spanish. Again, lots of time changes. Some rather Spaghetti-Western horns. False ending, then 40 seconds of didgerido! It’s really cool! 8. 3:55 *****vocal beatbox, then uptempo funk with female vocals. Some didgerido on this one, too – wowzers! Odd ending. 9. 4:17 **drum intro, uptempo big guitars, loud bopper, female vocals, rather amusing lyrics, kinda schitzo music. 10. 3:31 ***hyper punky ska. Some really great bass moments. Suddenly quiets down into acoustic guitar and choral moments. 11. 3:59 ***midtempo lover’s rock with really cool bass sound, wah wah guitar, jazzy horns. Gets slower and funkier. Just bass at end. | ||
